Default Whats the difference?

Hey guys, I have been researching for a while now and I need some input... I am looking for some new headlights and Hids and I really like the look of the anzos but I keep hearing bad things about them on how they will fog up or burn out after a while. I have also been looking online and I have seen them from a lot of different sites and the prices are soo different, for example whats the difference between these two?

They appear to be the exact same, and one is 399.99, and the other is 179.99.... is there a difference in quality>? and I have noticed that there are some that have small leds in the brow, and some like the ones in the picture, please help me out, I want some straight answers, cuz all this research is driving me nuts. thanks!

in this case, the only difference seems to be price. Both are the exact same, just slightly different angles for the shots.

First off make sure any headlight is DOT and SAE approved, projector lights can be sketch IMO as soon as u get them, reseal them with sealant so they wont fog. Also you can wire the halos to a switch so they wont burn out as fast since you can control when they are on. Lastly I wouldnt put an HID kit on a halo projector light you will more than likely melt the halo.

if im not mistaken, i think HIDs run cooler than a normal bulb.

I had halos installed on my OEM headlights with HID's for over a year and they worked fine.

Well i've seen them work and I have seen them melt. Mine melted in one of my other cars. So Im just giving a warning. Most projector lights come with a warning not to put in HIDs
